[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I didn’t read the whole thread. Your marriage prospects may go up with a degree from Columbia. I know this probably is the last thing that you care about at age 20. I would suck it up and just finish your degree. [b]80k is not that much debt to graduate with.[/b][/quote]

I'm guessing you weren't a math major.

Also OP, the marriage arguments are just plain silly. No question about that. [/quote]

Columbia costs $80k per year. Getting a degree for $80k is not a bad deal.

I have a friend who didn’t finish college. She withdrew and it messed up her financial aid. She also suffers from depression. She is currently in her 40s, divorced and depressed. She is not that different from when she was 20 and dropped out of college. I know she had some student loans. I’m almost certain she just defaulted on them.[/quote]

80K for a degree from Columbia is nothing.  80K with zero prospects would be silly, but OP only will have zero prospects if she doesn’t finish her degree.

OP, this is my last post because you’re frankly not looking for advice.  It would be a phenomenally bad decision to drop out because of who you are. [b] The people who would succeed at your half thought out (being generous) alternative plans wouldn’t be lazy/naive enough to drop out.[/b]  [/quote]

I disagree. I think most people would be wary of taking out $80k for a BA in English. [/quote]
